These cars may never go off the road, but it’s also beginning to look like their sales won’t go off the rails any time soon either. Kia’s Sportage was the big year-over-year loser last month, but it’s about to be replaced with an all-new model. The battle continues…

How on earth did the Sorento and Outlander end up on this list of "compacts", while the Santa Fe and Murano are considered "mid size"?
Wow, VW should be proud of their Tiguan sales. You know it's bad when more Jeep Compasses were moved than Tiguans. If VW had a clue they'd be offering the 2.0 litre TDI in it and there would probably be one of them in my driveway. But unfortunately they remain clueless for the U.S. market. (Can't wait to see how much the Chattanooga NMS will suck compared to a European Passat.)
If VW offered the Tiguan in diesel they likely would not be able to crank them out fast enough, the Subaru Forester diesel will likely beat them to the marketplace and eat VW's lunch. Maybe for potential owners motoring bliss this could be a good thing? Subaru/diesel/6spd manual......mmmm.....drool.....
Where is the Honda Element?
